| Tá bean in Éirinn a bhronnfadh séad dom 's mo sháith le n-ól
| There is a woman in Ireland who would give me a jewel and my fill to drink
|
| 'S tá bean in Éirinn ba bhinne léithe mo ráfla ceoil ná seinm téad
| And there's a woman in Ireland whose musical rumor is sweeter to her than playing a string
|
| Tá bean in Éirinn, 's níorbh fhearr léi beo
| There is a woman in Ireland, and she would not rather live
|
| Mise ag léimneach nó leagtha I gcré is mo thárr faoi fhód
| I'm jumping or lying in the dirt, my back is under my jaw
|
| Tá bean in Éirinn a bheadh ag éad liom mur' bhfaighfinn ach póg
| There's a woman in Ireland who would be jealous of me if I only got a kiss
|
| Ó bhean ar aonach, nach ait an scéala, is mo dháimh féin leo
| From a woman at a fair, the story is not strange, they are my own relationship with them
|
| Tá bean ab fhearr liom nó cath is céad dhíobh nach bhfagham go deo
| There's my favorite woman or a battle of a hundred of them that I will never win
|
| Is tá cailín spéiriúil ag fear gan bhéarla, dubhghránna cróin
| A man without English has a celestial girl, black-eyed crown
|
| Tá bean in Éirinn a bhronnfadh séad dom is mo sháith le n-ól
| There is a woman in Ireland who would give me a jewel and my fill to drink
|
| Tá bean in Éirinn s’ba bhinne léithe mo ráfla ceoil ná seinm téad
| There is a woman in Ireland who loves my music rumor more than playing a string
|
| Tá bean in Éirinn is níorbh fhearr léi beo
| There is a woman in Ireland who would rather not live
|
| Mise ag léimneach nó leagtha I gcré 's mo thárr faoi fhód | I'm jumping or lying in the ground with my back under the jaw |
